Tweet the Curve

A collection of Tweets from July


Whenever I see anyone making a “Both Sides” argument, from now on I will say "You can't spell Both Sides without B.S."

☆☆☆

It is my contention that 41° is the perfect latitude for all seasons.

☆☆☆

The major shortcoming of the "follow the science" attitude is that if something is shown to work, but the mechanism is unknown, it gets treated as though it doesn't work.

☆☆☆

One day I’m beaten over the head with “scientific theories are more than just guesses, man” the next day I’m slapped across the face with “that’s only a theory, bro, nobody really knows.”

☆☆☆

"We should dox cops and go after their families!"
"Hey! Why aren't the cops wearing name badges?"

☆☆☆

"Resist!"
"Punch a Nazi!"
"Bash the Fasc!"
"Abolish the police!"
"Take the streets!"
"Riot! Loot! Burn!"
"It’s just property!"
"End America!"
"This isn’t working."
"It plays into Trump’s hands."
"Boogaloo boys did this."

What I think of when I think of a cheese pizza:

Can we fast forward to the part where they drag a shirtless Charleston Heston away, screaming “There is no virus! There is NO VIRUS!”

☆☆☆

Knowing exactly what kind of an idiot you are is half the battle. 

Depending on exactly what kind of an idiot you are. 

Could be less.

☆☆☆

If you can’t shame anyone into giving up their guns, what makes you think you can shame them into using them to defend you?

☆☆☆

Fame lasts 15 minutes, but infamy is forever.

☆☆☆

In my lifetime we’ve gone from the internet becoming a haven for weirdos to websites banning people for being weirdos.

☆☆☆

Out: “1984 is not an instruction manual!”
Shout: “Revenge of the Nerds is not a training video!”

☆☆☆

M-F: start drinking at 5
Sat: start drinking at noon
Sun: start drinking as soon as you receive the blessing

☆☆☆

We need a Twister remake, but it’s a premium cable series that starts out intriguing but goes on too long and gives up on a lot of threads before being cancelled.

☆☆☆

"You deserve to be harassed for your minority viewpoint."

☆☆☆

Sacha Baron Cohen
What we gonna do?
Cancel him like the leftists do!

☆☆☆

I often contemplate how En Vogue’s 1992 Top-10 hit and pro-tolerance anthem “Free Your Mind” is, by 2020 standards, deeply problematic.

☆☆☆

“Guys, you won’t believe how dumb these white people are. They just traded me all this stuff in exchange for, get this, land.”
“WTF!? You can’t own land!”
“Right?”

Name a book that you couldn’t put down.

The Real Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger

Image
It's not "ego." It's a claim that you encounter a lot—an insult really—that people are buying bigger and bigger trucks to compensate for… something. Here's one particularly cringeworthy example, because the person making it doesn't seem to realize the go-kart he's praising doesn't meet US emissions standards.  whenever americans say that they *need* a massive pickup truck that gets 12mpg just show them the Subaru Sambar utility vs. ego pic.twitter.com/NqexDbQcok — sam (@sam_d_1995) May 11, 2022 In response, a lot of people will defend their big truck purchase by saying they need a larger vehicle for their family, their business, or just because they like it. And to an extent, market forces are partly responsible for the increase in truck sizes, particularly when it comes to features like crew cabs. But it turns out that even a lot of people who like the big trucks don't know the full story of how their trucks got so big. The rest of the story

Romney’s Pro-Life Position Not So New

Also: Say hello to the “Sev-Con” There’s a NYTimes article out over the weekend that is all the buzz today. The pull-quote du jour is by former Mitt Romney strategist Mike Murphy, who told National Review in 2005 that Romney "is a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly." The preferred pick-apart is that this proves Romney will say and do anything to get elected. And, I admit, it certainly sounds damning. If nothing less, it was a poor choice of words. But this is old news. At the time Murphy issued a statement saying he had been misquoted. I’d say the facts support Murphy’s side of the story. The Times article tries to make more ado about Romney’s pro-life journey than there is. In 1994, when he ran against Ted Kennedy, he did not shy away from his personal opposition to abortion but positioned himself by saying “my personal beliefs, like the personal beliefs of other people, should not be brought into a political campaign.” He lost that race. In 2001, Romney e

The Gaffe that Almost Wasn’t

Image
The smear campaign against Cain continues   By now the internet, radio, television, and wagging tongues everywhere are all abuzz over the latest campaign blunder by Herman Cain. But is it really the gaffe everyone says it is? Or was it a selective editing job a la Ed Shultz ? Well, call me cynical, but I’ve seen enough media shenanigans to be suspicious of anything taken out of context and this definitely tripped my radar. In the clip that has gone viral (below), Cain does appear to be caught off-guard by a question on Libya, a topic he ought to have been ready for. My first reaction was to wonder how many clips like this land on editing room floors instead of online. In a world used to hyper-slick video and equally slick candidates, a moment of thought gathering can seem disastrous. Still, this isn’t about a some candidate’s “senior moment.” Rather, it is about a hatchet job gone awry. This clip was released by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel along with the entire half-hour interview
